[Solved] Moved from Logseq - get my Wikilinks back on Track

This post was last updated for 249 days ago, and the information may already be changed

Hi guys,

Imported my Markdown files as folders from Logseq. The wiki links no longer work. These are - superficially - in the same format, but of course do not reference the corresponding GUID under the hood. But now to rewrite thousands of wikilinks within this complete package by hand is something for people who have nothing to do all day. Search and Replace does not do it. Does anyone have a good idea for this?

Best regards

Achim

      To date, there is no official level solution that might quickly resolve [[wiki-links]] (or ref-links called in SiYuan) from other software.

      The community does have some solutions of its own, but they are dependent on other software and not very internationalised, so it is not certain that it would cost you too much extra to use them.

      I recently imported from both Obsidian and Logseq - worked an absolute treat. Did have to remove a folder the Logseq creates if not was getting an error but once that wa done, wow. Very good job all.

      I would really like to migrate from Logseq to Siyuan but I have thousands of interlinked pages in Logseq and giving up the links would make my notes much less usable. Recreating them by hands is not feasible.

      A migration script would certainly increase Siyuan's user base a lot. There have been some frustration in the community around Logseq numerous bugs and some (like myself) are losing patience. Siyuan seems a perfect replacement for Logseq with many added features and improvements such as better search, better app layout flexibility, better sync, etc.

      Given that Roam, Obsidian and similar software are based (or exportable to) markdown, my guess is it wouldn't be very difficult to adapt a Logseq migration script to these.

      Could that be put in the roadmap?

      Sorry for my late reply. Previously importing [[Wikilinks]] doesn't work at all when importing into SiYuan. IIrc it became literall [[Wikilinks]] and doesn't do anything. SiYuan at that time only supported cannonical Markdown links. With the recent updates when you import [[Wikilinks]] they properly show up as links in SiYuan now.
